Attorneys for Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell forwarded demands to House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY), stating that they must be met before she would be willing to testify before Congress.

In a letter to Comer on Tuesday, attorneys David Oscar Markus, Leah Saffian, and Melissa Madrigal insisted that Maxwell's testimony could "compromise her constitutional rights, prejudice her legal claims, and potentially taint a future jury pool." Politico's Josh Gerstein obtained the letter.

Key allies to President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement are issuing dire warnings that the president’s support of Israel amid its partial blockade of aid into the Gaza Strip will result in a near-total “collapse of support” among the president’s most diehard supporters.

“It seems that for the under-30-year-old MAGA base, Israel has almost no support, and (Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu’s attempt to save himself politically by dragging America in deeper to another Middle East war has turned off a large swath of older MAGA diehards,” said Steve Bannon, a former White House chief strategist under Trump and influential MAGA figure, speaking with Politico Tuesday.

Unlike most polls that propose answers, a new Washington Post survey asked voters open-ended questions requesting responses about President Donald Trump's scandal around Jeffrey Epstein and the documents surrounding his investigation.

The poll was conducted by text to a random sample of 1,089 people, according to the Post, and "was weighted to match U.S. population demographics, partisanship and 2024 vote choice." The margin of sampling error was "plus or minus 3.3 percentage points," the report said.

A resurfaced memo from the Justice Department may compromise President Donald Trump’s latest ploy to save face amid growing scrutiny into his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump is currently facing a firestorm – largely of his own making – over his past ties with Epstein, who died in 2019 awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges and his subsequent stonewalling on releasing files on the disgraced financier.

MAGA influencer Steve Bannon insisted that psychiatrists, not guns, were to blame for the deaths that occurred during this week's mass shooting in New York City.

After four people allegedly died at the hands of gunman Shane Devon Tamura, Bannon spoke to anti-drug advocate Sheila Matthews about the incident.

Former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg laid into President Donald Trump in an interview published Tuesday over his close ties with Jeffrey Epstein — ties which he argued went well beyond a casual relationship.

“We all know for a fact that there were powerful people involved with Epstein, and (Trump) was one of them,” Buttigieg said, speaking on The People’s Cabinet, a new podcast launched by former White House aide Daniel Koh. “This is not a controversial or complicated fact; it's not just footage of them having their picture taken together at some place, it's footage of them ogling women together, dancing.”

President Donald Trump's handpicked leaders for the FBI are essentially cosplaying their roles, according to a veteran agent pushed out by the pair's purge of the bureau's ranks.

Michael Feinberg, a 15-year veteran working as an assistant special agent in charge at the FBI’s field office in Norfolk, Virginia, received a phone call from his boss asking about his personal friendship with former agent and longtime Trump target Peter Strzok, and he recounted to The Atlantic that he decided to maintain his dignity by resigning rather than be marched out the door.

President Donald Trump's visit to the United Kingdom featured him publicly disparaging one of that country's big priorities, reported the Daily Record: to reduce its dependence on oil.

This comes at a moment when the importance for Europe of transitioning from fossil fuels is doubly important, not just for climate change but for ending Russian leverage over the continent's foreign policy as that nation pursues its aggressive war of conquest in Ukraine.

Right-wing podcast host Candace Owens predicted that unnamed people would "fake kill" Bridgette Macron, wife of the French president, before a lawsuit over the MAGA celebrity's claims that she's really a man make it to court.

On her Monday podcast, Owens responded after the Macrons sued her for saying Macron was born a man.

President Donald Trump's meeting with the British Prime Minister, hogging the stage and rambling about whatever came into his head as he posed as the "last king of Scotland," is representative of the crossroads his presidency finds itself at, Stephen Collinson wrote for CNN on Tuesday.

"Six months into his second presidency, Trump is getting exactly what he wants on many fronts," wrote Collinson. "He’s destroying the global free trading system by lining up framework trade deals that enshrine one of his longtime obsessions — tariffs. He sent U.S. stealth bombers around the world to bombard Iran’s nuclear program. And he’s wrung promises of a vast increase in military spending from NATO members."

Republicans are planning to go to war around the country to defend President Donald Trump's tax megabill that extended tax cuts for the rich while cutting more than $1 trillion from Medicaid, food assistance and green energy programs.

But the National Republican Congressional Committee is conspicuously omitting one traditional method of constituent messaging from their strategy, according to Politico which reported on an internal memo Tuesday.
